Question : EAP rejects Wireless user when using NPS as a RADIUS Server in an Active Directory Environment

I am trying to get NPS (Running Windows Server 2008 R2) setup as a RADIUS server to authenticate my wireless clients (running Windows 7 Enterprise). When attempting this, I get the following in the event log on the DC/NPS:

And the following in the NPS log:

And the following in the client security log:

      EAP Error Code:            0x0

The client is receiving the root certificate that has an intended purpose of according to the certificate MMC snap-in. Is there some other kind of certificate I need to issue, and if so, how? Also, if I'm reading the NPS log correctly I'm getting authentication type 11 and Result Code 23 neither of which show up in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771748%28WS.10%29.aspx.

Very confused.

Answer : EAP rejects Wireless user when using NPS as a RADIUS Server in an Active Directory Environment

Actually, we ended up doign machine authentication but the problem itself required a call to Microsoft, and ended up being a certificate issue - even though a root certificate had for its purpose we had to create a RAS certificate on the Certificate Authority. Even after we did that though we ran into problems, it took Microsoft a couple days to figure everything out, probably because 2K8 R2 and Win7 are so new.
